Elm Row still isn’t working as it should — unfinished works are causing confusion for everyone using it.
LCCC is working with WELM and Cllr Jack Caldwell to press the Council for progress on safety, parking and the missing sculptures.
Some fixes are due this month — we’ll share updates soon.

An understatement - this isn't going well....a serious rethink required ?
Unfortunately the PORTALOOS located on Regent Walk continue to be a target for VANDALISM. The only vandals in 2024 were the seagulls, but from spring 2025 we've had a series of incidents.
